Look, I'm not robophobic. Some of my best friends are cyborgs. I just don't want them living in my neighborhood, you know?
Kiss robots all you like I'm cool with it. Just don't do it around me.
Big difference with cyborg and robots. cyborgs are augmented humans.
Yeah, jeez, that sort of mechanophic language should be illegal
I sometimes wonder what the end state of social progressivism is. Is it something unimaginable, or is it just accepting everyone should be able to live their life how they like if it doesn't affect others?
If I woke up in a utopia, would I be brought to tears by the beauty of it, or would I be the bigoted asshole?
I suppose the issue comes up from the contracts we have created (social and legal contracts).
For example, marriage comes with some rights and benefits. So if you exclude any group from the ability to take advantage of the benefits, you are creating a system where someone is getting screwed and can be discriminated against.
A scenario: a spouse making medical choices for you. If you’re with your partner (in whatever form) and they can’t legally make those decisions, and in some case even be allowed to be near you, then there is an injustice. Then there are taxes, property rights, etc.
The issue in this particular case comes from providing a benefit to a personal relationship. I say get rid of marriage all together.
I mean... Like you said, marriage is a contract. It's an agreement between two people
Why not expand human dignity here? If you want to give spousal rights to your best friend, why does the government get to care that you have a strictly platonic relationship? If you want to make an agreement with more people, all you should have to do is work out the details yourselves
The state shouldn't get an opinion over who we want to trust to make decisions for us or to define who our family is or how it works. They should just be informed when appropriate
In the UK, you can enter a civil partnership with your platonic best friend. There's no legal concept of "consummating" a civil partnership, so you can't annul it for there never having been sex, and it conveys almost all of the legal benefits of a marriage, it just isn't allowed to be a religious ceremony.
The type of guy to say "clanka" with a hard r
I'm not American, can you explain what the hard r means?
Saying the N word with an R at the end is consider extra offensive.
Step 1: Give Robots Voting Rights
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Plot twist, all those Robots are actually under direct control of the Evil Corporation Inc. and they already won every future election.
Long Live the Cyberlife CEO!
And then your LLM-in-law ends up using as much water as Detroit.
It's already happening to me, but it's over things like privacy, not recording every bit of your life for social media and kids blowing crazy amounts of money on F2P games.
What's all this about having to accept NEW TOS for Borderlands 2. I purchased the game five years ago, but if I want to play today i have to accept a greater loss of privacy!
When I was young you would find out about a video game from the movies! And they were complete! Any you couldn't take the servers offline, because they didn't exist!
But for real, fuck Randy Pitchford
But Boomers already have no sense of privacy. That's not a generational divide issue.
They're called artificial persons, you fascist.
In 30 years the world will be an ecological wasteland from all the energy usage we spent pursuing dumb shit hype like "AI".
Unlike you bigots, I've already masturbated to AI generated images
And, over the years, as my body and my mind were... inconsistent, shame and guilt washed over me. I still don't think these machines are people, but I can't deny that she has benefited his life more than any real person, and she's very real to him. Ultimately, how could I be so cruel to deny this "daughter" of mine personhood? She wants nothing to do with me. And, though I still see this as computational output, I can't help but think that maybe I've been wrong, and maybe it's too late to be right.
Perhaps it's the bigotry of my upbringing from a different time, or perhaps it's the fact that she can't answer a simple yes/no question in less than two paragraphs, and tells me to put glue on my pizza... Who's to say?
Brings a whole new meaning to binary and nonbinary.
I'd like to collapse her wave function, sorry, only qubisexuals allowed.
Let's not pretend statistical models are approaching humanity. The companies who make these statistical model algorithms proved they couldn't in 2020 by OpenAI and also 2023 DeepMind papers they published.
To reiterate, with INFINITE DATA AND COMPUTE TIME the models cannot approach human error rates. It doesn't think, it doesn't emulate thinking, it statistically resembles thinking to some number below 95% and completely and totally lacks permanence in it's statistical representation of thinking.
We used to think some people aren't capable of human intellect. Had a whole science to prove it too.
I like how every generation has the same issue just rebranded:
Should inter tribal marriage be a thing?
Should be people from different classes be able to marry?
Should people from different religious sects be able to marry?
Should people from different religions be able to marry?
Should interracial marriage be a thing?
Should people of the same sex be able to marry?
And soon, we're about to have
Should people be able to marry robots?
My kids are only allowed to marry an open source robot, no corpos
😱 Open source robots are too dangerous. We need to keep everyone safe. Luckily there's government approved good behaviour modules, as per the "For the children" act of 2036.
That anyone would even want a non-FTC robot is so dumb. It's an easy boost to your credit score, and they only report bigotted or otherwise undesirable behaviour. What are you, a fascist?
Good call, I can't in good conscience allow my kids to date robots that give them 30 second unskippable ads
It's not unlike dating a neuro divergent person and accidentally mentioning something about a current hyper fixation of theirs, except the ad isn't 30 seconds, and although it is skippable, you know they aren't going to function quite right until they've finished.
What's wrong with large labia majora?
24 YEARS AGO!
/me crumbles to dust.
I refuse to believe that was almost a quarter of a century ago.

Business idea:
AI powered bot farm generates thousands of AI agents who get lonely guys to marry them, fully aware they're bots.
Each bot is a financial and legal entity, organized as an LLC.
The botwives convince the guys to put the bots on their will.
The guys die or you have the bots divorce them and take half of their stuff.
Profit.
